Biography

Greg Tikhomirov is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. With a background in chemistry, bioengineering, medicine, and nanotechnology, he has a longstanding dream of engineering life-like artificial systems. He is motivated by the realization that the incomprehensible complexity of nature arises from comprehensible fundamental laws. At the Ti Lab at Berkeley, Tikhomirov focuses on the design and fabrication of devices with atomic precision, combining the strengths of rational top-down engineering with bottom-up biomolecular assembly. His key goal is to adopt powerful proof-of-concept self-assembly approaches in DNA nanotechnology to engineer new and useful devices.
